Update includes rules for requesting Scholarships as a Budget Item for Aid and documents for submitting proposals
FAPESP has updated, effective March 1, 2025, the rules for the following Research Grants and Scholarships:
• Research Grant – Thematic Project
• Research Grant – Public Education Program
• Assistance with Participation in Scientific Meetings
• Scholarships Granted as a Budget Item in Aid Programs
• Research Internship Abroad Scholarship
In the Grants and Scholarships rules, the main changes involve the reduction of documents required for submitting proposals, updates to the guidelines for preparing research projects and guidelines for submitting Scientific Reports.
The guidelines for preparing the FAPESP Curriculum Vitae template have also been updated , in both Portuguese and English versions, and are available at fapesp.br/sumula and fapesp.br/6351 , respectively.
Also noteworthy is the new guideline for requesting Grants Awarded as a Budget Item (BCO) in Grants, published at fapesp.br/bco . The new page brings together all the guidelines for requesting and monitoring BCOs, which were previously published on different pages of the Foundation's website.
With the new rules, FAPESP will now allow academic BCOs, intended for Scientific Initiation, Master's, Direct Doctorate, Doctorate and Post-Doctorate scholarship holders, to exceed the validity of the Research Grant in which they were granted as a budget item, observing the other requirements for application defined in the rules.
